A Day of Violence is a 2010 British crime thriller film written and directed by Darren Ward, starring Nick Rendell, Christopher Fosh, Victor D. Thorn, Tina Barnes and Steve Humphrey.
[1] James Oster of Arrow in the Head gave the film a score of 3.5/4 and called it a "surprisingly effective low budget action flick that has a huge hard-on for gore and aggression".
Every time a performance starts to grate, or a line of dialogue makes you cringe, something sharp tears into something soft and things get hyper-red.
"[3] Jeremy Blitz of DVD Talk gave the film a score of 3/5 and opined that it is "quite well done, considering its constraints, and offers up an hour and a half of action, thrills, pathos and redemption, of a sort.
"[4] The Daily Mirror wrote that the film uses violence "less for gratuitous effect but more to provoke reaction in a public numbed by a never-endingly generic raft of staple thrillers.
